Verdict
Mr Lupton was hampered when a beaten favourite last time at Thirsk but this is probably a decent maiden and others have also shown plenty of ability. Tikthebox has his sights lowered and isn't out of this, though may do better in handicaps. Head East and Mayfair Lady were both placed on debut and Chicago School was second on fast ground at Carlisle before failing to cope with an easy surface at the same track on his second start. LOVE ON THE ROCKS shaped very nicely under a considerate ride on her first start at Nottingham and Charlie Hills' filly can repay that kindness here.
